Hong Kong Station 2 — Restaurant in Denver

9.5/10. Traditional Hong Kong cuisine. Excellent customer service. Was just talking of authentic traditional Asian cuisine, and I stumbled upon this joint right next to Bible Park!

Food is averagely priced, about $10-20 for the protein, rice comes free. The beef tendon and brisket was the most tender I’ve had in ages, but the curry could use more spice and punch. Thought what it lacked in flavour, it made up for in immaculate texture and generosity. The garlic eggplant had an absurd amount of flavour and in a perfect balance. Everything was cooked well. I’d also avoid the fried rice, the extra fried-ness and bits of egg weren’t worth the detracting in taste of the wondrous dishes. I reckon most dishes already have enough flavour to use white rice. Portions are generous, two proteins can likely be apt for 3 people. So though I spent 40+ bucks, divide by 3.

Shoutout to Danny, the front man who makes you feel like you walked into his home. We had great conversation and connected on a more personal level than most restaurant staffers are bothered to think about. This is how F&B should be, I actually feel good about tipping!! Danny, If you’re reading this, God bless your wife and young baby kid!

Atmosphere is relaxed with some normal pop music. The furniture made me feel transported into a shop from home, and nostalgia overwhelmed.

Overall great experience, only docking a half point for my poor decision on the fried rice and less flavourful curry. Oh! And the curry version of the beef brisket and tendon is cheaper than the non-curry version? Might give that a...

My new favorite Chinese restaurant in Denver. I’d heard great things about the original Hong Kong Station, but had never been. When I heard they’d opened a new location in our neighborhood I had to try it and we were blown away by how great everything was.

We ordered a smattering of dishes to get a broad taste of the menu and every single item was excellent.

My absolute favorite item we got was the Szechuan wings. They were perfectly crispy and flavorful from being tossed in the chili oil. They were topped with pan fried green onion and crispy peppercorn adding smoky and spicy flavor and texture. Some of my favorite wings I’ve had in the city.

The Szechuan beef, beef chao fan, and sesame chicken were all stellar. The lo mein was surprisingly flavorful with a touch of garlic. The scallion pancakes were a nice savory palate cleanser between the various dishes. And last but not least, the jalapeno cream cheese wontons were so fresh and carefully made. The quality in these were clearly far beyond the typical wonton available at many places.

All in all, one of the best meals I’ve had this year and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have them in the neighborhood. I can’t wait to order from them again as soon as we finish all of these...

2025 update: Had a problem with a DoorDash guy not delivering my order, ugh. Called the restaurant and they were super helpful and on top of it! Once it became apparent the guy was definitely not showing up(we are talking within 5 minutes) they remade the order and already arranged to have another driver before I even called back. 10/10 the right way to handle an issue.

It’s real! Ordered take out Szechuan Chicken Wings and bbq fried rice, exactly like the HK station on Leetsdale! This is going to be so dangerous so close, they better not start delivering or I’m...
